Note
The Adobe World-Ready Single-line Composer and the Adobe World-
Ready Paragraph Composer are intended for use with non-Western lan-
guages, such as Hindi.
When you use the Paragraph Composer, InDesign composes a line while considering the
impact on the other lines in the paragraph, to set the best overall arrangement of the para-
graph. As you change type in a given line, previous and subsequent lines in the same para-
graph may break differently, making the overall paragraph appear more evenly spaced.
When you use the Single-line Composer, which is the standard for other layout and word-
processing software, InDesign recomposes only the lines following the edited text.
Tip
Asalastresort,youcanadjustlinebreaksmanually byinserting theForced
Line Break (Shift+Return) character or a Discretionary Line Break charac-
ter at the end of a line. Both characters are available in the Type > Insert
Break Character submenu. Because the line break characters remain as text
reflows, it's best to add them when the text and formatting are final.
The text in this lesson was composed using the default, the Adobe Paragraph Composer.
To see the difference between the two, you'll recompose the body text using the Adobe
Single-line Composer.
